Surekha uses photography/Video to archive and document, performance and masquerade. Images become memory and recollection of feminine spaces and gestures.
Surekha lives and works in Bangalore. As a multi-media artist Surekha has been exploring the gendered self as a self conscious choice. Her works from the 1990's explored diverse materials. She negotiates the public and private realm with ease, transcending genres and locating the body as a site of contestation and appropriation. Her feminist aesthetics and cutting edge strategies move beyond the confinement of two dimensionality into a multidisciplinary approach.
Her works explore the concept of ‘body as a site of contestation and appropriation’ that existed in locations/sites that share similar/different histories, addressing issues of feminine dialogues in mutually contradictory circumstances, redefining/relocating feminine spaces. She engages her body as a ‘form of intervention, real or/and metaphorical’, within a given circumstance and discourse either private or public.
